I feel like I can’t do another post until I mention the biggest thing that’s happened in our lives this month, the loss of Sara’s sweet little baby Peter. Sara has a beautiful post in honor of his sweet memory. Although is has been such a hard time with many questions and many tears, it…
We had a fantastic, fun, water filled Labor Day weekend. It all started on Sat with a trip to the Boulder Reservoir. Umm…Native Coloradens, WHY HAVE WE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PLACE UNTIL NOW??? It was AWESOME! There is a sandy beach for the kids to play, and you can rent canoes, paddle boats, etc….
Last week was our 6th Anniversary! This weekend Sara and Brian offered to watch our kids so we could have an overnight get away. It was so fun for just the two of us to be able to spend time together. I am going to spoil Sara big-time when her baby is born to repay…

For the quarterly Primary activity the kids got to go down and do a tour of the Denver Temple. They took them all over the grounds and told fun stories about specific parts of the temple. The kids got to learn how important temples are in Heavenly Father’s plan for us. Halle and Josh both…
This weekend marked an annual LDS tradition– the Father’s and Sons camp out. Rusty, earning Father of the Year, decided he would take Josh. Since the boys were going to be doing “boy” stuff, Halle and I decided to go do “girl” stuff. I tried to convince her to go shopping at the mall, but…
